Chapter 1151: Chapter 1193: Driven to a Dead End

At first, she didn’t really know what Yueyue’s living conditions were after she left, she only knew that Yueyue was living very frugally.

Even when she reunited with Yueyue, whenever she asked, Yueyue would never say a word! It wasn’t until she started visiting the Huo Family frequently and the estrangement between her and Yueyue gradually dissolved, that Yueyue finally revealed how she lived after her departure!

Hearing Yueyue say that she lived in a chaotic environment mixed with all kinds of people, she swallowed her tears.

A place like that is nowhere fit for a single little girl to live!

After understanding Yueyue’s living conditions, her resentment toward the couple in front of her deepened!

She didn’t ask them to treat Yueyue like their own child, if they found it troublesome, they could simply give all the money to Yueyue and let her allocate it herself!

But instead, not only did they keep the money, but they also went out of their way to ask Yueyue for money.

Did they ever think about what kind of life a sixteen-year-old girl was living out there!

Now, her younger sister is already eighteen, and they still cherish her like a precious jewel! Meanwhile, Yueyue was only sixteen at the time! Why couldn’t they empathize a little and think more about Yueyue!

Knowing about Yueyue’s life over the past five years, she absolutely cannot forgive this couple in front of her! Even if she can’t retaliate, they must return all the money that doesn’t belong to them, even if this money means nothing to Yueyue now.

Ling’s father, being told off by Ling Shenglan, blushed first red then white, utterly ashamed, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into! After a good while, he finally found his voice, "We understand Yueyue, I know she has been strong and independent from a young age, able to support herself, and besides, farm work at home has always been busy, so we haven’t had time to see where she lived!"

In response to Ling’s father’s explanation, Ling Shenglan sneered, "Heh...! You guys don’t need to find excuses, no matter how you explain it, it’s just a cover-up for the sins you’ve committed over the past five years! Anyway, I’ll lay my cards on the table, either hand it over or see you in court! You are my brother and sister-in-law, as long as you give back what belongs to my daughter and I, I won’t pursue what you’ve done to Yueyue over the years, won’t accuse you of mistreating her! But if you continue to hold out hope, thinking you can pocket her money, then don’t blame me for disregarding familial ties! If it blows up and goes to court, not only will you have to return the money, but you’ll also be charged with fraud!"

Seeing Ling Shenglan leave no room for maneuver, and having her say so much, Ling’s mother could no longer hold back, lifting her chin with smugness, "How have I committed fraud? Where is the fraud? Even though I didn’t give birth to Yueyue, her household registration is under our name! You say you’ve been supporting her all these years, what evidence do you have? Show me the proof! You also say you gave us a sum of money, who saw it? Who can testify for you! We live in a society governed by law, I know evidence is key to everything! Do you really believe that with just your unsubstantiated words, the judge will believe you? That’s wishful thinking!"

Faced with Ling’s mother’s words, Ling Shenglan calmly replied, "Have you really not committed fraud? Though there’s no evidence for the money I gave you, Yueyue’s monthly remittance to you can be tracked in the bank records! You are not her parents, from her birth until now, she hasn’t lived with you a single day, before she turned fifteen, you never gave her any maintenance, it was always me earning money to support her, all of these are verifiable by the police! Tell me, why are you asking her for a living allowance when you’re not her parents and haven’t supported her? Moreover, you asked Huo Junmo for a million in Yueyue’s parents’ name, isn’t that fraud? With Huo Junmo’s status in Jin City, tell me, if he learns of your deceit, what do you think he will do to you? Don’t forget, the only reason he gave you a million and respected you was that he thought you were Yueyue’s parents! Now, you are nothing and are still relentlessly exploiting Yueyue’s hard-earned money, do you think he will let you off the hook?"

Hearing her mention the million from Huo Junmo, both Ling’s father and Ling’s mother couldn’t help but gasp, and Ling’s mother couldn’t hold back and blurted out, "Which eye of yours saw him give us money, you are slandering us with your nonsense!"

Ling Shenglan raised her brows, "I’m slandering you? Ridiculous! Have you forgotten what you said on Tiantian’s one-month-old banquet day? Let me tell you, you thought no one heard your whispers, but Huo Junmo’s son heard everything and relayed it verbatim to both me and Yueyue! People like you who think they’re smart are actually the most foolish!"

"...!" This time, both Ling’s father and Ling’s mother were speechless!

Ling’s mother was too angry to speak, while Ling’s father was too frustrated to formulate words.

"I really didn’t expect you two to be so shameless, you’ve disgraced yourselves entirely! It’s one thing to take small advantages daily, but to dare deceive Huo Junmo out of his money? Surely you know his identity, right? I see you really have a death wish, thinking he’s some kind of fool to let you insult him? If he finds out you’re not Yueyue’s parents, just one word from him, and you won’t even know how you died!" Seeing Ling’s father and Ling’s mother keep silent, Ling Shenglan relentlessly continued. 𝚏𝗋ℯⅇ

To deal with this couple, she needed to use such means.

Initially, she didn’t know Huo Junmo’s identity, only finding his name familiar!

Later, after experiencing the Huo Family’s environment, she did some research online, and that’s when she discovered that Huo Junmo was one of the renowned Five Young Masters of Jin City!

She never expected Yueyue to marry such a significant figure, who also cherished her dearly!

Seeing Yueyue’s current happiness brought her much comfort and strengthened her resolve to seek justice for Yueyue. Her daughter’s past grievances should not go in vain.

After a while, Ling’s father raised his head and weakly asked, "Shenglan, after all, we’re siblings, do you really have to drive me to a dead end?"

Ling Shenglan retorted, "I’m not driving you to a dead end, you’re the ones driving yourselves to a dead end! All I’m asking is for you to return what doesn’t belong to you, it’s not that difficult! Once you return it, I can pretend this never happened, and I’ll keep this matter hidden, Huo Junmo will never know you aren’t Yueyue’s biological parents!"
